Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource The APSIM sorghum model reproduced observed yield variation across the production region with R2 = 0.73.
- Observation Simulated seasonal drought trajectories clustered into five patterns.
- Observation Terminal drought occurred in 43% of simulated trajectories.
- Observation The most severe droughts began before flowering in 25% of seasons.
- Intervention effect Early severe drought affected biomass production less severely than grain production.
- Observation Different rabi zones had different predominant drought-stress patterns.
